Hello Dear Wisdom,
Few days ago I sent an e-mail about who was doing Swank Digital campus. I was
asked if I could do a summary of all the replies.
My issue was I would like to do Swank but have the films in our catalog and not
just in blackboard or any other course management.
Off the replies I
Dear All,
Do any of you have experience with Swank streaming service?
Silverlight has already crashed on me when trying to use the 'lesson plan'
function, and today at a demo, it stopped and started a LOT.
thanks for comments,
Jane

shorter than those for foreign films, they can actually be year to year.

Thank you, Elizabeth for this clarity.
I had been told the same thing from Criterion, in Canada.
However, many of the distributors who have digital rights do not uphold
this belief.
They tell us that they cannot license beyond their agreement with the
rights' holder.

I am not sure if we are talking about the same kind of film, but fiction
feature films are nearly always licensed from large companies or sales
agents that represent them and you definitely may not license them to
anyone beyond the term of your contract without their agreement. I imagine

Hi all,
I think
As a practical matter Swank really can't license for more than one academic
year. This is what I have been trying to explain re studio product. I think

films) or even themselves to license for more than a year. Anything is

Hi all,
